Post Torn Steering Boots - 92 Accord

The boots on the steering rack of my 92 Accord are torn completely in half. I can replace them cheaply, but my concern is whether I shouldn't consider replacing the entire rack. Could my existing rack have suffered any significant damage from torn boots?

Also, and perhaps partially related, I hear a fairly significant clicking/clunking noise while turning. It is more noticeable on right turns, but I also hear it while turning left. Could this be a failing steering rack, or can this only be failing CV joints?

the clicking will be the cv shafts.

as long as the rack looks ok and there isnt any corrosion on the shafts then just replace the boots.

Is it hard to replace the boots?
Thanks.

hard no, could be time consuming if you have never done it before.
